Turbo inlet pipes

[MS6Kid]

Hey I am looking into upgrading my ms6 turbo inlet and I've found a bunch of options. There is the corksport the protege garage the atp etc...I'm curious as to what everyone else is running. What do you suggest?

Also I have a test pipe and the cpe Cai and standback II along with the ssqv. If i grt the cs pipe because its inexpensive should I get the breather valve covering?

Thanks,
Grant

if you are intrested in PG turbo inlet, I have one for sale and it's brand new in a box for $75 shipped.

Can't beat that!! The only differences are fit and sound.. I think there can be some fit issues between kits?? My ATP had those issues.. But it made it on.. So ask CPe first if it has any fitment issues?? And the metal inlets are a little louder.. But, sound nicer IMO..

I've got the PG TIP and SRI. I am loving them both.

just got my cobb tip put in and i love it

I have the PG TIP and SRI. If you go with Corksport, you get both the TIP and the SRI together. You don't get the seperate. I'm probably going to be switching over to that after I get back from the desert so I can take advantage of their cold air box too.

 

[Suspect987]

Has anyone measured the temp differences with and without the cold air box on with an SRI? I am debating building one for the PG TIP-SRI combo and really want to know if it's worth it. I find a lot of opinions online but no acutal data to back it up. Also, why buy the corksport setup if you have the PG setup already? If you have the money go ahead, but personally i plan to make my own. It's not rocket science, and it would save you a chunk of change you could spend elsewhere.

OP get the CPE. You have the CPE CAI so the CPE inlet should fit nicely. PG and corksport are both good and fit better with different intakes / SRI's.

On my ramair the ait is occasionally a couple degrees higher.. But, no prblems so far.. Throttle response is better on the Cobb but the sound is week..

I recommend that you go with the CP-e inlet to fit nicely with your CP-e intake. It seems more and more that matching the intake and inlet where possible is the best fit for everyone.

curious, what TIP has erryone used for the MS CAI ?
i was originally thinking COBB, but since im already super sleeper quiet, i thought i might go with a metal inlet instead.

any listings of which ones have fitment issues too?
dont mean to threadjack OP.

I had the Cobb on mine without issues. I've also seen the PG work with it, but I'd skip it IMO.

For the MSCAI get the corksport or PG. Trust me you won't regret it. Sounds cooler and fits better than the cpe or cobb.

That in itself is a given. They are specifically designed to work with one another. Expecting parts from different manufacturers to work with parts from another manufacturer without even the slightest issue is a pipe dream.

To the question about the MSCAI and TIPs used with them, like Tunersteve I have seen it installed with both Cobb and PG TIP. Both looked good and seems to fit alright. Per my comments above I favor the PG TIP, but I can't say if either was a better fit. IMO its personal preference.

 

[tunersteve]

I'd still lean towards the Cobb. Although I suggested it based on looks, I've personally seen quality issues with the PG ones that would be totally unacceptable IMO. You get what you pay for.

 

[coyfish]

I have personally installed all 3 inlets (CPE,COBB,PG) on my car. CPE / COBB didn't fit well at all with my metal injen intake.

So if your on the same situation I would get the corksport or PG inlets.

Not sure what to say about what steve was saying about quality control but the corksport is even cheaper than the PG inlet if im not mistaken.

 

[batou079]

is the injen intake that much different in piping lengths/bends than the MSCAI?
seems it'd have to be if steve had no trouble with COBB TIP and you did have trouble.

hmmm... now i cant decide again... worse off than before. haha such a mixed crowd.

I am a firm believer in that. And to the OP I have the Cobb intake and will order their TIP. It only makes sense to match brands where applicable.

 

[mglavina]

Cobb FTW!... My choice but I'm running the same brand SRI and TIP.

People like to advocate the parts they have on their own cars. While the cobb / cpe are both good products, they don't fit well with some intakes. I don't know how similar your MSCAI is to my injen but if it is similar you will have a hard time with fitment.

Just think about it. The COBB / CPE have 2 inlets. One for their appropriate (brand corresponding) intake. And another generic mode for all others. Basically they supply you with a metal coupler that basically funnels the huge inlet down to the smaller CAI. The coupler made my injen intake slightly longer which caused the bracket to no longer line up with the bolt (that holds the CAI to the car with the rubber bracket / bolt thing). With a lot of tinkering around I managed to make it fit but it didn't look secure at all. Especially with how much the engine moves in our cars. Not to mention the supplied coupler simply doesn't fit very well.

The corksport / PG inlets have smaller mouths. Meaning the point where the inlet meets the intake = similar size. Thus coupling them together is simple and easy. No need for any funnel . . . Because you don't have that funnel the intake remains the same length and the bracket still remains lined up with the bolt.


So if you have a CAI similar to the injen (mscai,aem,fujita) I would recommend the pg or corksport. Cheaper, better fitment, easier install, better sounding . . . its a no brainer imo. And I have installed all 3 inlets on my car which most people here probably have not.
